This is a re-review of a film I have seen before, but with new maturity and analysing skills. The first review I made was not a good one and too short. I don't think I gave my full talent or thought about it, so rectifying it now with this review/analysis of the film. Synopsis: S. … Continue reading Atrangi Re (2021) – Loving Someone With a Rainbow of Problems

Joji (2021) – One Man’s Madness Into Murder

Summary: It is the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in India and on a rubber plantation in Kerala lives the Panachel-family; Jomon, the eldest with his son Popy; … Continue reading Joji (2021) – One Man’s Madness Into Murder
Sara’s (2021) – To Have a Child or Not to Have a Child
It has been a while since I've watched a Malayalam film. Thought it would be nice to go see what was in offer, and I found this with one of my favourite new actors. Summary: Sara decided young that she didn't want to have a child. Now working as an assistant in a film production … Continue reading Sara’s (2021) – To Have a Child or Not to Have a Child
Natyam (2021) – Change is for Growth
I do love a good dance movie, preferably one with a predictable formula. This has it, but the emotional stakes are strong, even if the plot is one used in so many other films. The dances are beautiful, the music makes you want to dance with the film and the performances are all on point. … Continue reading Natyam (2021) – Change is for Growth
Karnan (2021) – An Epic of Small Proportions
I do love "punching up" stories, where those who are oppressed are fighting against powers stronger than them - Les Misérables, all those kinds of stories. This movie has to be one of my favourites of that kind. Not only is it artistic, very Masala and epic in the best of ways possible. Also, the … Continue reading Karnan (2021) – An Epic of Small Proportions

The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) – The Ending Satisfies The Frustration
So, I am back watching Indian films. Maybe it is the current winter holiday's, the change of scenery and the atmosphere but I am back at it. This movie was many times said to be one the best of the year from Malayalam cinema and I can see why. As the title says I found … Continue reading The Great Indian Kitchen (2021) – The Ending Satisfies The Frustration
Last Night in Soho (2021) – Mirror Images and Broken Fantasies
There are very few occasions when I say that it seems like a movie was crafted for me. This is one of those moments. It ticks all the boxes I love when it comes to horror. I will give already a warning for a lot of blood, flashing neon lights and many cases of sexual … Continue reading Last Night in Soho (2021) – Mirror Images and Broken Fantasies
2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
Hello! I know I abandoned this blog for a LONG time...like almost over a year. There was just something that felt so much like work, not fun for a while and then the whole COVID-19 thing happened (and is still happening) and the world became quite chaotic. I just needed to take time off for … Continue reading 2021 – Well, The Last Year Certainly was Something
